Need help with latest version of vray advanced.

Which version exactly are you using? What OS (and service pack), and max version (5, 5.1, 5.1 sp1)?
What does your scene contain? Is it possible for you to post it so some of us can try to reproduce the error here?

go to the render settings dialog, find the system rolldown and uncheck "Vray Log - Show Window" and then try and render again.

As egz said, more info would be nice, but till then, this is basically a semi-generic fix.

not to be a smart ass or nothing but is not that the log you are talking about that he posted psy? Short of the other info its still not much to go on.

it looks like the log, so if it was then there, if not, then nothing lost. just trying to give whatever help i can, rather than sit and lurk. besides, i've gotten that error before, and turning off the log fixed it for me.

p.s. if u have to ask about being a smart ass, then its too late, you already are.

Its just whenever theres an object in the scene it wont render and just stop responding and freeze. Dont know why its so weird.
